Q: How old do I need to be to have an e-Consultation? A: You must be at least 18 years old.


Q: Why your prices immediately visible?

A: In order to comply with UK laws, information about prescription medication (including prices) is only available once you have completed your e-Consultation. Once you have ordered, you will then have direct access to this information for future e-consultations. Also, if someone makes a direct request for prices and other information, we are allowed to provide it. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Why are some internet sites selling prescription medicine so cheaply?

A: If their prices are dramatically cheaper than ours, then the chances are they are not supplying genuine licensed & branded pharmaceutical products. You will have no way of knowing exactly how or where their products have been manufactured and handled, or even what chemicals they might contain, or if they have been exposed to any contamination. The bottom line is, you would be taking chances with your health, and maybe even your life. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Are your doctors and pharmaceutical suppliers reputable?

A: Yes. Our licenced UK doctor is registered with and regulated by the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK and are authorised to write prescriptions for the medications we supply. The UK licenced & regulated pharmaceutical supplier that dispenses the medications for us is a registered member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and is also a registered supplier to the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK. All parties in the process have to comply with strict standards of operation & codes of ethics, and UK government regulations & laws. This ensures that we only supply genuine branded medication from a regulated UK source and that only those who are suitable for the prescribed medicine will actually receive the goods. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: How will I know that the medication you supply is genuine?

A: All medicine which is supplied by us is dispensed from a UK licenced & regulated pharmacy which is monitored by the UK MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). All medicine dispensed is genuine and all products are branded and have the manufacturer’s security packaging intact. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Do I need a prescription to obtain medicine from you?

A: Yes. In the United Kingdom (UK), it is illegal to offer prescription medication for sale without a prescription. If a company is operating in this way, it is either operating illegally or is based outside of the UK. We require that all our patients have an online consultation (e-Consultation) with our doctor so that the doctor can diagnose the condition and provide a prescription for the patient's particular problem. Our licenced UK pharmacy supplier will require a prescription in order to dispense the patient's medication. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: How do I obtain a prescription and receive my medication?

A: Our e-Consultation/fulfilment process has to comply with UK laws, therefore it must operate in a certain way. The process is not complicated and a full, step-by-step description can be found in the section Using Our Site. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Do I need to have another e-Consultation for a repeat prescription?

A: No. Once you have had an initial e-Consultation, and if you are approved for treatment, you will be able to request a repeat prescription very quickly (because we will already have all of your details on record). At the time or requesting a repeat prescription, you will have the opportunity to review & update your delivery details and medical information (if anything has changed). If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Should I consult with my own doctor about my treatment through you?

A: Yes. We would always advise you to consult your own doctor before commencing any course of medication. If at any stage of the e-Consultation you have any questions relating to your health, we would advise you to consult with your own doctor regarding the questions, as they will be more familiar with your personal medical history. We will provide you with a letter and information to give to your own doctor, which will accompany your order. We advise you to follow the manufacturer's instructions (which are contained with each product, in the packaging) completely and carefully. We will not accept any liability for the abuse of any medication purchased through us. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Will you divulge my medical information (or other details) to anyone else?

A: Only to those who are required to see it. The information from your e-Consultation will be used by one of our doctors in order to make a diagnosis and write a prescription (pending suitability). If any medication is prescribed, then your prescription will be given to our pharmaceutical supplier in order to fulfil your prescription. All parties in the e-consultation/fulfilment process are required by law to keep records of your details for a period of time. No one else will ever see any of your personal/medical information. We do not divulge or sell any of your personal data to any third parties, ever. If we ever desired to do so, UK data protection laws require that we obtain your written permission first. Please see our Privacy Policy. If you aren't able to find answers to your Questions, or you need more information, please contact us direct at customerservices@ukmeds4u.com.


Q: Will I start receiving unsolicited e-mail ("SPAM") after I have an e-Consultation and register with you?

We will never pass your details on to any third parties without your written permission.

Q: Does someone need to sign for the parcel?

A: Yes. UK Royal Mail will require a signature from someone at the delivery address to confirm receipt of the parcel.

A: All of your address details will be verified, especially the card holder's (home) address, prior to approving your e-consultation application and dispatching your order. If we have any questions, or there are any discrepancies, we will contact you for clarification. This may delay the approval of your e-Consultation application, as we cannot finalise the process until we have clarified and confirmed all information.
